Current weather

A fleet of First Student retired school buses parked on Kalifornsky Beach Road will soon take up much less space on a Seattle barge.

The vehicles, parked in the former Kenai River Nursery parking lot, were recently sold to Peninsula Scrap and Salvage. They were replaced by 2012 models that trickled in during the spring. Soon the buses will become training vehicles for Central Emergency Services and then they will be scrapped and baled into small, compact blocks.
